Summary:
North Wamac School District 186 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of North Wamac, with only one elementary school, North Wamac Grade School, which educates students from kindergarten through 8th grade.
North Wamac Grade School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, ranking 915 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3 out of 5 stars), 809 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024 (3 out of 5 stars), and 819 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023 (3 out of 5 stars). The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are mixed, with math scores slightly above the state average in 2024-2025 but below average in ELA and science. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 91.67% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $13,061 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent. This suggests that the district is investing resources into the school, but the challenges faced by the high-poverty student population may be impacting the school's ability to achieve consistently strong academic outcomes. Further investigation would be needed to understand the specific strategies, programs, and challenges that are driving the school's performance.
